The theory of evolution cannot permit any "counterexamples," or examples of things that could not have evolved. As in logic, the existence of merely one counterexample disproves the truth of the rule.

The following are some counterexamples to evolution. If just one is correct, then logically the theory of evolution must be false. If there is merely a 5% chance that each example is correct, then the odds of at least one of the following counterexamples being correct is nearly 100%.[1]

The development of feathers, which could not have conceivably "grown" from the scales of dinosaurs[6]

The flagellum a multi-part cellular motor which fails to function if a single part is removed is the classic example of irreducible complexity and cannot arise according to the theory of evolution.

Symbiosis - There are many examples where creatures rely on each other to survive which could not arise through evolution. Flowering plants need bees in order to spread pollen but bees cannot survive without the nectar from flowering plants. Therefore the bees and plants must have arisen at the same time. Likewise, grass cannot survive without a certain fungus that helps it fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and the fungus can't survive without the grass. Again, they must have appeared on earth at the same time.

The bat which lives in caves employs a type of sonar in order to navigate and find prey. Evolutionists propose that the bat evolved from a squirrel-like animal, but a squirrel would have no use for a sonar system. A bat can't fly without sonar, and an animal that can't fly doesn't need it therefore the bat must have been created with fully functioning sonar and flight.
